Need assistance relocating SSDs?
You need to transfer the storage SSD from PC 1 to PC 2 while keeping the Windows 11 OS on PC 2. Since both systems are AM4 builds with NVIDIA GPUs, you can use a bootable USB or a live Linux environment to manage the switch without affecting the operating system. Make sure to back up any important data before proceeding.
Initiating the assessment now. Please focus on the key points first. Are you interested in transferring just files, such as your documents? Would you like to create a share or move them across the network or via USB? Should the process include installed programs from PC1 on PC2? This should go beyond simple copying. Would you prefer to replace PC2's entire operating system and files with a clone of PC1? Also, do you want to transfer a non-OS secondary storage drive from PC1 to PC2? The procedure is straightforward: open the case, disconnect the drive, connect it to PC2, and it should work out-of-the-box—just ensure permissions are updated.
Assume PC1 runs Windows 10 and PC2 uses Windows 11. Connect the SSD from PC1 to PC2. Verify in BIOS that it boots using the correct SSD. Once running, navigate to the user folder on PC2 and transfer files from PC1. After finishing, reinstall the SSD on PC1.
